history of painting
Stories retold differently from Perseus and Andromeda, the Rape of Europa, and some atmospheric landscapes of Honfleur in snow and fog.
The goddess Ceres, The Last Supper, and the supper at Emmaus, Easter Sunday bread in Ukraine, bread as charity and the daily bread.
Some of Claude Monet’s series from 1903-04, Le Sidaner, Émile Claus, and ending with Lesser Ury from 1926. But there was a more sinister side to the fog and smog.
Paintings starting with JMW Turner in 1844, through Monet in 1871, Winslow Homer, Jules Bastien-Lepage, Tom Roberts, Pissarro, and Childe Hassam.
More mysterious interiors and cupboard views, a group portrait of the Nabis, and two of his models taking a break.
Hephaistos or Vulcan in classical myth, cheated on by Aphrodite/Venus, and as creator of Pandora. In Bosch’s Last Judgement, and elsewhere.
A dentist draws a tooth outside a church, a man reckons he holds the winning card, and the five most humorous interpretations of the senses.
A gruesome tale of a daughter’s lover killed by her father, and his heart cut out. Also of one of Hogarth’s few failed paintings.
Adam and Eve during a happy moment before the Fall. Countless naked men and women cavorting with giant fruit. Gambling and music seen as sure ways to hell. Delving into Bosch’s details.
